Abstract
We investigate the bit error rate against signal-to-noise ratio performance corresponding to track mis-registration for patterned media storage. The patterned media channels with and without soft underlayer are implemented, and we simulate using one-dimensional Viterbi detector and two-dimensional soft output Viterbi detector (SOVA) when the track mis-registration is 0% (on-track), 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. While the BER performance degrades approximate 0.3 ~ 0.5 dB at 10% track mis-registration, it degrades severe over 10% track mis-registration.
